Great card for 1080P Gaming
Pros: Looks good 1560Mhz factory OC Very quiet fans
Cons: None
Overall Review: Great budget card for 1080P gaming. Paired with a R5 3600X I got between 50-70 FPS in Ultra 1080P gaming. On high about 75-85 and on medium about 85 -110. Overall a great card for a budget minded gamer.
XMP is wrong
Pros: 3200Mhz
Cons: Not Samsung B-die XMP is 16-20-20-40 Cheap SK Hynix IC's
Overall Review: Running a 8700K and 1080ti since 2018 with 3200MHz CL 14-14-14-34. Bought this to upgrade to 64GB RAM. XMP states it's 16-18-18-36 which is wrong. The XMP is 16-20-20-40. Uses SK Hynix IC's which is the cheapest in the business compared to Samsung B-die and Micron. To late to return to newegg so I'll be calling Patriot for RMA.
Forget about using the PCI-e 4.0 x 1 slot
Pros: Decent motherboard if you catch it on sale like I did.
Cons: When using a discrete GPU it totally covers the PCI-e 4.0 x 1 slot. I even tried the slimmest card I had and it still touched the wifi card in the PCI-e 4.0 x 1 slot. Horrible motherboard design making the PCI-e 4.0 x 1 completely useless. Buyer beware.
Overall Review: Read pros and cons. I may be returning this.
Not great having issues
Pros: Decent card for 1440P gaming
Cons: I have had nothing but issues with this card on a daily basis. It constantly causes my screen to flicker than finally go all black. it' causes weird artifacts on small windows opened like device manager and task manger.
Overall Review: Card works well for a few minutes than the screen starts flickering and finally goes black. I swapped it out with 3 different GPU's and they all work fine. So this GPU is the issue. I am on the latest AMD drivers and latest windows 10 updates. I have been in to PC Tech and building for over 10 years. This is the first card I have ever had an issue with. Will be contacting Asus and Newegg about this.
Motherboard doesn't lay flat
Pros: Has good airflow for a 65W TDP chip.
Cons: No room for cable management but to bundle up cables on side of GPU and on top of power supply. Motherboard doesn't lay flat. Cheap metal
Overall Review: Good case overall to build in. But if you want to swap coolers out you have to completely remove the motherboard. Most important gripe is the motherboard doesn't lay flat in the case. It sits at an angle and the rear IO doesn't sit flat against the back of the case. The metal of the case could be of better quality and Fractal could of took the time to insure the stand offs were of equal height and level so the motherboard could lay flat.
Good RAM for any build
Pros: Perfect for an all white build Micron E-die IC's on PCB
Cons: None
Overall Review: Good RAM but was concerned about where it was manufactured. One kit was manufactured in Malaysia and the other in Boise Idaho. I got lucky and they worked well with each other. Runs at 3200MHz 16-18-18-36 XMP combined with a 2700X. Looks great in a white build. Micron E-die are great IC's as they have won many RAM overclocking championships. Overall this is good RAM for any build.
Could be better
Pretty much a good experience with this seller. But package arrived 2 days later than expected and no response to a question I sent about shipping. May buy from this seller again.
Horrible never buy from them again! Do not buy!
Where should I start. Let's see! I ordered this bundle on Oct 10 2016. I received the wrong bundle which was the Rainbow 6 Siege 1TB bundle. I call ed for a return and to ship the correct bundle. They sent another bundle and once again it was the Rainbow 6 Siege bundle. Found out this bundle doesn't exist anymore. Here it is Nov 3 2016 and I am still waiting on my refund. I used a gift card from Newegg from a return of another broken product. Newegg now is giving me a tough time in returning the amount of the gift card. So Newegg and Toy r Us still owe me money and it's almost a month since purchase and return. Worst seller I have ever dealt with including Newegg. I will no longer buy from Toys R us and Newegg and will not be renewing my Newegg premier membership as they do not know how to take care of their members. Toys R Us and Newegg where is my money? Will escalate this higher if this is not settled this week.
